Actually further done in my email I think I deal with that, at
least for my safety trigger and the automatic extension. I
reference NRPM 10.4.2.1 and 10.4.2.2 which is where the /8s
for the RIR are reserved and handed out. However, I didn't
correct for that when basing the projected run on from mid-
2011, on picking the specfic dates.
Geoff,
Does projection on potaroo.net, account for the new global
policy: "End Policy for IANA IPv4 allocations to RIRs" and the
last /8 that it reserves for each RIR?
Could you add that? Or is the a different projection that
accounts for that you can point me to?
Thanks
